[Equest-users] modeling all glass sunroom

The advantage of sunspace is that it allows you to have windows in the
interior wall through which radiation will go through (not sure if
daylighting will be calculated - should be mentioned in the manual). If you
do not have any windows on the interior wall, you could possibly make all
the walls as windows (never personally done this).
